Just about every e.l.f. product costs less than $10, and Target carries the entire line. It's really easy to find cheap dupes for makeup that could cost you more than four times the amount of money elsewhere.

The new selection of natural hair products is free of harmful chemicals and packed with plant-based ingredients. Attitude, Renpure, SoapBox, and SoCozy are now carried at Target stores and on Target.com.

Find the person wearing a black apron in the beauty aisle to ask about any of your beauty needs. The concierges are brand agnostic, so they'll answer your questions about every type of product and technique without trying to sell you on a particular brand's item (like the old-school department store beauty counter).

You can find a store with a beauty concierge near you by entering your zip code here.

6.Or, if you can't get to a store, consult Target's online beauty concierge service for tips, tricks, and how-to videos.

This works particularly well for makeup-removing wipes, face wash, shampoo, body wash, and any other staple you'll be repurchasing regularly. Plus, you get an extra 5% savings with a Target REDcard. Set up your own schedule for how often you receive the items: weekly, biweekly, monthly, whatever.

The previous free shipping minimum of $50 was recently dropped to $25. This is a huge step forward for beauty products, because you won't be stuck buying more than you need if you just want to test out a couple of products.

10.Shop the in-house brand Up & Up to save on beauty staples like makeup wipes, vitamins, and more.

11.There's a totally spanking new one-year return policy on any product that's from a brand owned or exclusive to Target.

If your foundation doesn't quite match your skin tone or the lipstick you bought months ago dries out your lips, head to the store and get your money back. Target's one-year return policy launched on March 18, 2015, and it extends the return window to one full year from the date of purchase, which was previously a 90-day policy. The new policy includes any brands owned by or exclusive to Target.

For beauty, this means that Sonia Kashuk, Up & Up, and more are now returnable for one year. For any brands that aren't Target-owned, the 90-day return policy stands.

Pay extra attention to this trick when you're purchasing larger health and beauty items like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, etc. You'll get the discount regardless of the kind of bag you bring.

Bigger products = more bags = more money saved.

13.Download the Cartwheel App to get instant updates about the deals on the items you're already planning to buy in the store or online.

Once you download Cartwheel you can input a list of your favorite products and a red checkmark will appear as soon as there's a deal. While you're shopping in the store, scan the barcode of the item you're interested in and Cartwheel will tell you about any promotions currently happening. The more you use Cartwheel on social media, the more deals you'll get.

If you find a product that costs less money on Amazon, Wal-Mart, or another online retailer listed here, Target will match the price. You just need to make sure that the item is being sold by the retailer, not a third-party vendor.

How to get it: Show your cashier the price from an online competitor on your smartphone or bring a physical printout. For store deals, bring the physical printed advertisement for a lower price from a competitor.
